Today’s show is inspired by The Music, Seen the upcoming art show here at WTMD. We’ll hear songs about colors, painting, drawing, artists and art in general. I was particularly excited to find BMA SONGS in my music library, thanks to my musician artist friend Charles Brohawn. The CD is out of print now, but back in 2000 it was the “Song Pack” part of the Baltimore Museum of Art’s Art + Fun = BMA Packs, “three unique portable packs, each with a distinct theme, offering visitors active approaches to learning through song, dress-up, and drawing! A one-of-a-kind interpretive tool within the field of museum education, the Song Pack is a toe-tapping tour-in-song of the collection. Visitors explore the Museum galleries with a portable CD player, earphones, and CD of original songs inspired by artwork in the collection—composed and performed by local musicians and elementary school children.” We’ll hear a couple songs from that CD, along with new music from Tim Kubart and Best Coast. Brian and Tom of Milkshake will be here for Talking Tunes, and today we’ll chat about “She A Rainbow” by the Rolling Stones.
